Everything is dead, all the links are dead, all the threads are dead. - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Someone just gave me their old Xoom, and I've managed to successfully root it using the LAOIT tools, now I'd like to install a rom. Well after reading through several of the pinned threads, which linked to something called Team Tiamat or something, apparently those roms are for Android 3?? Either way all the download links for it are dead. So I found something called TeamEOS for Android 4... and of course all the download links for it are also dead. And the thread is closed. But it said to go to the JB EOS thread. So I did. And that thread is also closed.
Could anyone point me to a rom for the Xoom that I can still actually download? Without having to go through thread upon thread upon thread of closed threads?

Dream's 4.2.2 ROM is pretty smooth and buttery and can be used as a daily driver (http)://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997434 . Dream also has an experimental 4.3 ROM that is pretty usable except for the occasional graphical glitch (http)://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418290 .

Thanks for your help! I don't think that one was mentioned in any of the pinned topics.
What do you mean a daily driver? I've rooted and installed custom ROMs on 3 different devices, at least a dozen times each, and I've never once come across the term "daily driver".

Daily Drivers means a ROM that's stable enough for daily use. . Personally I use cm10.1 with big part and its rock steady!

[Q] ? About BeansCustom Rom build 10 (4.1.1)

So I've tried to down load and install the latest and greatest from Beans, I've read hundreds of pages in the developer thread for his ROM, watched the videos embedded in the thread and followed the links to DL the ROM.
I've flashed the ROM and notices that the install is different from the video and the boot up. I am not getting 4.1.1, when flashing it looks like I am only going to 4.0.4 or Build 9.
can anyone direct me to a valid download of build 10, or offer some insight on why I am not seemingly getting build 10. I have done all that is required for a clean flash, and am trying to go from rooted stock to the beans ROM.
Thanks

I know that, and thats the link that I followed, hence my post and confusion since I am not getting the same thing. I have gone through the DL again, and will be installing the ROM from d2vzw_JellyBeans_B10
See what happens this time around...

Good roms

What is the best full functioning custom Rom for desire s? I currently have cm7.2, but it's got problems with the Wi-Fi, it's good, but it's boring I would like an Android 4 based rom like cm10.1, but yet again that has bugs, I looked into the pac man rom looks great wanted it, but download was corrupted couldn't find another file for the desire s

Hi, old quote from a mod.....
"Best" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
ps: pacman link is there, search..
Sorry for butting in, as @jmcclue said there are links in the PAC thread (mirrors) to the ROM. The link in the first post is corrupted (well, just not working when trying to flash). I think on page 180 or so of the thread there are alternate links that work.
Just as I downloaded that one and it worked fine. Even (fingers crossed) the random reboot problem I was getting initially has stopped!
I've moved from this, to CM10.2, to Carbon, back to this. It's such an amazing sturdy ROM (battery life). Ok, I've yet to tinker with the performance issues (slight lag...but doesn't impede progress or detract from it overall).
I suppose as an aside I tried the CM11 nightlies and was getting the Status 7 when trying to install. But I'm guessing that's just a recovery issue (I hope). Found a 'cheat' video where you can edit a file in the rom to bypass recovery checks...but not advisable.
Going to continue to use PAC and wait patiently for an update.
Thank you, I have been looking around I did eventually find the link earlier today for the pacRom file that works, I did't think that there was another download link until I went to the end of the thread, the very end and people had posted saying it was corrupted and people were referring to use a link previously posted, now I know that people have put links in threads I will look harder and think better. I have the rom now, yet to flash it though, hope it works out fine. I hate being new to things this is the first forum I signed up too, still getting used to the rules I will eventually get the hang of it been told off for posting to many threads searching more now. Well thanks again.

Need stock rooted 4.2.2, like MicroDelta, but can't download

Hello everyone,
My dad has Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3113, wifi only) and I would like to update it for him to the latest rooted stock (or stock-like) ROM.
So far I have found the MicroDelta rom that is pretty close to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405410) and I like the description of it a lot, but there's something wrong with the download links, so I couldn't try it (says "Invalid Attachment specified..."). I also don't have enough posts to comment on that thread to notify that download links don't work. I've been a user of xda for a while, but hate to just go spamming the forums to get the 10 posts count, so I don't have enough to comment in dev. I only say something if I have something to say, you know...
I also tried to search for other "stock rooted 4.2.2 Tab 2 7.0" roms, but couldn't find anything closer/better than the MicroDelta rom.
Therefore, if someone would be so kind to help me in these 2 ways I'd be very thankful:
1) Notify/PM the maker of MicroDelta rom (Tsjoklat) and say that download links don't work (since I can neither post there, nor PM him).
or
2) Tell me if there's some other stock rooted 4.2.2 rom for P3113 thread available that I couldn't find.

you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081801 sungsonic ver7 the best stock based rom
for my tab
Thank you, Mohdsultan. I'll go try the Sungsonic rom.
I've installed sungsonic v7 now. I actually remember trying this rom some times ago now. It's pretty cool, but I couldn't figure out how to remove the cellphone related stuff. My dad's device is P3113, that is wifi only and no celluar. I remember now there were some patches to remove celluar stuff, but there are 478 pages in the Sungsonic's thread, which is unrealistic to read in short amount of time. Mohdsultan, can you pin-point me to the thread containing the latest instruction to remove cellphone-related stuff from the Sungsonic rom?
Alright, for those interested, here's the link for the latest phone-related stuff remover for Sungsonic v7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49145850
This rom, however, is missing the default touchwiz weather widget that my dad needs. I've read though and it's not that easy to add the widget back. Adi (the rom dev) promised to make some patch for this sometimes later, but as of now I don't think this rom will suite my dad's needs. I'd install it for myself maybe, but not for my dad's tab. He just needs stock + root (for ad block) and that's it. So the quest is not over: still looking for the stock rooted 4.2.2 rom.
The problem is solved now. Links to download for the MicroDelta server is in post #323 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51171998&postcount=323 )

Most stable lollipop rom

Hey guys I've had my g3 rooted for a couple months now and I have yet to find a really good ROM to use cm12 was to buggy and grew tired of nightlies. Liquidsmooth was really good only issue I had was Skype and hangouts. I'm on candy5 latest build now and I'm getting a lot of glitches, force closes, etc. I've clean installed the last 2 roms and experience problems. If Liquidsmooth didn't have that Skype issue I would probably stuck to it. Any ROM suggestions?

For the most part, all the AOSP Roms like the ones you received will have similar bugs until they are ironed out over time. The least buggy Roms are those based of the lg ROM. Right now there are only 2 stock lg lollipop Roms. Both of them are very stable however they're basically just rooted versions of the stock lollipop ROM.
I see thanks for the reply can you link me 2 the 2.

[ROM][STOCK][BUMP'd] LG D850 20F Lollipop 5.0.1 (+ extras)
TekROM - D850 - Stock 20f - Lollipop - Deodex/Root/Busybox
Keep in mind both still have all that carrier bloat we love to hate. I use the first rom without issue and debloated it myself using titanium backup.
I'm surprised we don't have more roms. It's a great phone but I feel that support is lacking.

It's because the development took and still takes lots of work. The devs had a lot of work just to root Lollipop, then to flash twrp. But I also do think that between all roms available (including KK roms and LP roms) we don't have as many as other devices from the same gen have. Heck, I had my Galaxy S3 and there were ports for everything. Can't complain though, between the stock ones and illusion (talking my preferences), I feel complete.

For KitKat, there's plenty of ROMs available, partially due to the fact that porting D855 ROMs was cake (swap out kernel and modules, and you're golden). That's why there weren't too many D850-specific ROMs.
On LP, there's a new handshake process between ROM and kernel, so we can't do that...yet. I feel like "development" on ROMs as a result is going to be hindered, since there's hope that the process will get cracked, then we can just port straight from D855 with little effort. Otherwise, if we have to mess about with the D85020f base, it'll take much more time.

@Spz0 has been talking about this as of late in his OA855-5 ROM thread, as he is readying to move the ROM to Lollipop.
The defacto LG standard ROM of many, CloudyG3 by @Cloudyfa, also will inevitably jump on this bandwagon, but he hasn't been spotted in a while. He's probably just busy or something.
Not sure why this thread even exists.. this subject has been discussed ad nauseam in the Lounge.
@Nexus.S the question you've asked is one that will never offer ONE end all solid answer. It is truly a case of "to each his own". You need to continue doing what you were doing and try obe that fits all of your needs.
There are literally hundreds of users that have commented on every rom available for this device. Asking there will get you quicker answers, rather then waiting for people to find your thread and post something witty.
Threads of this type end up being nothing more then, OT threads.
Please check the index (found HERE) which lists all the roms for this device.

I can also vouch for the first one. In fact, I was far less aggressive with debloating and have skipped xposed for now... and it's more stable, better battery life and (IMO) a better UI.

True. For some it's more the 'personal process' of discussion with others that seems important, and less the strict data/direct content of the discussion.
resurrection remix 5.0.2 is a really great rom i had doubts because it was based off of cm but i was impressed

And do I download the softwares to my computer or tablet?

Could you elaborate? Have you tried several others ROMs?
I'm currently on Katkiss 5.1 and it just feels a bit clunky (although I have great respect for the amount of work gone into developing and supporting 5.1). I just want something that is smooth for basic browsing, newsfeeds and ebooks. I don't play games on this. So, yes, I might take your suggestion and try 4.4.

I've been running KatKiss for years, I was running the ROM that evolved into KatKiss before that
Read some threads, you'll see how long I've been running them, and how many I've tested
And yes, the reason I suggested 4.4.4 is because the TF101 can't handle anything higher and remain smooth
The ROM I linked to is by far the fastest and most stable you will ever see your TF101 running, period.

Is even faster than the CM9?
Thank you
Why not just flash a few and test, it would be quicker than making posts and waiting days for an answer...
I concur that katkiss 4.4.4 is the most smooth and stable ROM there is for TF101. Except new Google Now crashing constantly, I just uninstall latest Google update. Lolipop is very unoptimized and just runs poorly on the aging device. Will have to see if MM gets better if we ever get one.
I have spent days trying to root my asus tf101.. last night I was working until 3am with no luck. Some of the instructions are so simple its a joke. others are just outdated from 2012/13 when you could still access the app store with this device. I have reached my limitations but will keep trying until it is bricked or smashed. It seems no one actually knows how to definitivly unlock this device?
Thank God I found a little comment on youtube about watching the device manager when you acxtually switch into APX. made all the difference, such a little instruction was the difference between zero and hero. I have used linux for years but kno nothing of apx and flashing roms. this makes bios flashing so simple. AHHHH
Now I know when it is in apx i can attempt to do something? fingers crossed

No need for video. Just install king root then install CWM from play store then flash with any TWRP and your ready to go.
Hello Rave4d
why install CWM and TWRP both ?
From guides I red :
1) ROOT
2) TWRP
3) KATKISS
I didn't read nothing about CWM!
thanks
Wrong place to ask for help but I will give a few hints to make things easier. Use APX mode with Easy Flasher on a windows 7 computer. Make sure you are NOT using a zip file within a zip file and read all of the information avalible. The TF 101 may be old but it is greatly documented and simple to flash. Damn near unbrickable.
